Basic Keelboat / Sailing Fundamentals 2-Weekend

May 27 @ 9:00 am - 4:30 pm

Our basic keelboat/2-weekend format is designed for those who want a comprehensive Learn to Sail course but are unable to take a course with us on weekdays. Each of the two weekend sessions are offered every weekend of our sailing season, so scheduling is easy!

Upon successful completion of Basic Keelboat, graduates will have successfully demonstrated the ability to responsibly skipper and crew a simple daysailing keelboat in familiar waters in light to moderate wind and sea conditions. This course is conducted onboard our high performing 26′ keelboats – J/80’s. This course is offered every weekend of our sailing season (April-November), your sessions can be scheduled for either consecutive weekends or at other intervals – making our two weekend course the most flexible way for you to learn to sail. For each weekend, you will be placed onboard with others at the same progression level.

By taking this course, we guarantee that you will acquire the skills and knowledge to pass the written and skill evaluation for US Sailing Basic Keelboat Certification. If you do not pass during your course, you may come back for makeup instruction and testing until you do at no additional charge.

This course is held from 9:00 to 4:00 over the span of two weekends. The weekends do not have to be sequential but is our recommendation to complete the two weekends as close together as possible. Total hours; 3 classroom, 25 on the water.
